164: Preparation before the change of heaven and earth!

In Xia Fan's understanding, this method of being able to survey the situation within a few kilometers around him was similar to the 'Divine Sense' described in cultivation novels!

That's right, that's how he understood it, after all, it was exactly the same as the Divine Sense abilities depicted in those novels.

Such a heaven-defying ability, once activated, allowed one to control all subtle changes in the surroundings. No matter what means one possessed, once discovered, there would be no place to hide, thus losing all opportunities for preemptive strikes against enemies.

"With this ability..."

At this moment, Xia Fan was extremely excited, "Below the fourth-tier, all movements of fierce beasts, or whether they intend to attack, will be clearly detected by me. And those flashy moves, in this state, seem to have lost all meaning."

"Fifth-tier, ah, it truly is different!"

"Tiger Brother is fifth-tier?"

Just as he was sighing with emotion, in the ocean, Qiongqi was stunned.

After his breakthrough, he left the Xihai region, full of confidence, to find Tiger Brother, wanting to end their life-and-death feud. But halfway there, he discovered a familiar aura that had also reached the fifth-tier.

Qiongqi never expected Tiger Brother to break through so quickly, and immediately felt a desire to retreat. "Within the same tier, Tiger Brother is almost an invincible existence."

"Now, his strength is on par with mine, and he must also be very curious about the power he has mastered at the fifth-tier, eagerly hoping for an evenly matched opponent to fight him."

"Perhaps... I shouldn't go after all..."

Although they were both fifth-tier, Qiongqi had no confidence whatsoever in being able to defeat Xia Fan.

After making up his mind, he dared not delay for a moment and silently retreated.

"That guy, broke through to the fifth-tier?"

In the depths of the ocean, in an extremely deep seabed, the Blue Octopus King was now filled with terror, as if he had perceived something incredibly terrifying.

To evade Xia Fan's hunting, he had been hiding all over the place, finally finding a convenient spot to conceal himself. But he never expected that the other party would be one step ahead of him, becoming a true fifth-tier powerhouse.

And he was still a pseudo-fifth-tier.

"When he hadn't even broken through to the fifth-tier, I was no match for him. Now, I'm afraid..."

Thinking of Xia Fan's power, the Blue Octopus King couldn't help but shiver, then he suppressed his aura to the extreme, muttering softly, "He can't see me, he can't see me..."

..."Tiger Brother, congratulations on breaking through to the fifth-tier!"

At this moment, Magic Cat was very excited, congratulating Xia Fan.

She was genuinely happy for Xia Fan, but also had some ulterior motives, "This way, I can eat more delicious crystals!"

Currently, Magic Cat had also reached the mid-fourth-tier due to devouring many crystals during this period.

Although her progress was not as fast as Xia Fan's, she had still gained a lot.

Xia Fan glanced at her, and couldn't help but think to himself, "Speaking of which, Magic Cat, this little fellow, is similar to Qiongqi, both growing through unconventional means."

"Qiongqi, that guy, relies on absorbing the evil power of the world to quickly become powerful, and is a top-tier existence among his peers."

"And Magic Cat only needs to devour crystals, and once she obtains the power within them, she can grow."

"Although the two methods are different, their efficiency is much faster compared to other fierce beasts!"

After pondering for a while, Xia Fan raised his head, looking forward with a determined and excited expression, a surge of heroism emanating from his entire being, "At this current stage, there is no longer any enemy of mine in the world!"

He had absolute confidence in saying this, and the ability to achieve it.

After briefly sensing his state after advancing to the fifth-tier, Xia Fan said to Magic Cat, "Let's go."

For the time being, Xia Fan no longer needed to go to the Antarctic Glacier. Instead, he would directly traverse the void, planning to go to Freedom Island to pick up King Kong, Ta Mu, and the other fierce beasts.

In his memory, not long after, heaven and earth would once again undergo a great change.

At that time, countless people and fierce beasts would be caught up in it, and the hope of survival would be very slim.

Although Xia Fan was now a fifth-tier powerhouse, he still did not relax!

He even thought to himself, "Before the great change in heaven and earth arrives, I must make thorough preparations to ensure that I and more of my subordinates survive!"

..."General, we have entered the sea area managed by the Freedom Country!"

At the same time, in the ocean, a fleet from the Fighting Country finally arrived in the sea area outside Freedom Island.

A soldier reported to the fleet commander, but his words were full of a strange nuance, "But now, the people on Freedom Island don't seem to have discovered us."

"General, should we continue to advance?"

"Prepare to land on Freedom Island!"

The General's expression remained unchanged as he gave the order with great determination!

Hadn't they traveled across the ocean precisely for this moment?

Moreover, Freedom Island not having discovered them was a good thing for them, at least it could avoid more casualties.

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

Soon, all the soldiers on the ships received the General's order, and everyone busied themselves with intense preparations.

As the fleet from the Red-Haired Nation landed, Xia Fan also arrived at the Freedom Country.

"Great King!"

"Great King!"

Upon their reunion, Ta Mu, King Kong, and the other fierce beasts all shouted excitedly, overjoyed in front of Xia Fan.

Ta Mu even looked at Xia Fan with immense surprise, then exclaimed, "Great King, you've already... already reached the fifth-tier?"

"Mm."

Xia Fan nodded, appearing very calm, then asked curiously, "What were your gains from this trip to Freedom Island?"

"Reporting to Great King, we destroyed most of the Freedom Country's military facilities, beating them until they had no power to retaliate."

As soon as this was mentioned, Ta Mu became incredibly excited, vividly recounting, "At that time, the army of Freedom Island was almost annihilated. In the end, their high-ranking officials actively surrendered, promising us compensation in exchange for a chance to stop."

"And the compensation?"

Hearing this, Xia Fan was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected this group of subordinates to do quite well in his absence, but he hadn't seen this so-called compensation.

Thump thump!

At this moment, Ta Mu patted his belly and said with a chuckle, "There's a separate space inside my belly, all the compensation has been collected by me. I can release it when we get home."

"Please rest assured, Great King, none of these compensated items will be damaged."

"Alright, let's go."

Xia Fan nodded. His objective on Freedom Island had been achieved, so there was naturally no need to stay longer.

Watching the fierce beasts depart, the people of Freedom Island breathed a sigh of relief, their faces filled with relief.

But soon they became terrified, their faces changing dramatically.

Only because—the Fighting Country's troops had already landed on the coastal border!

But now, three to four tenths of Freedom Island's defenses were empty.

There was simply no time to organize forces to resist the invasion of the Fighting Country's army!
